Why?

Purely because I’m being illogical and superstitious. I hope to be entirely wrong and we smash them.

I've always hated playing them. But now we have Unai Emery.

We are a good side, albeit missing a couple of our better players in Kamara, Tielemans and Torres.

The thing is, we have options now, and we will have some of Ramsey, Diaby, Zaniolo, Bailey, Duran on the bench who can come in and change things and cause the opposition problems. We will have a likely choice and change of Digne and Moreno to cause them more issues too.

McGuire is out for them it seems.

Fuck our luck.
Didn't you just know it.
Dreadful news. It just adds to years of dodgy decisions and unjustified pens we have had to suffer up here. Why is it always us?

Torres or Lenglet (if Torres out)
Moreno
Luiz
Mcginn
Zaniolo
Watkins
Bailey
Ramsey

we appear to be out of form and key players missing so i am not confident about this one plus they are due a goal and a win . Hope i'm wrong

Out of form? In our last 10 games in all competitions we've won 7 and drawn 3.

We've been not quite at our best for a week, they've won once in a month and scored none in their last four. How fucking shit do you want them to be before we play them??

We’ve lost one in fourteen, do you want to be specific in terms of immediate loss of form?? You mean one drawn game and a 2-1 win against a team that rarely  loses at home?

To be fair, the players have said things along the lines of if you win 3-0 and you scored two, Emery is all why didn't you get a hat-trick and it should have been four you slackers who did not listen to the instructions you need to be more demanding....
